Why Your Gift Matters
The Second Amendment does not sustain itself—it is strengthened by those willing to stand behind it. Your support ensures that the next generation understands it, that communities have access to the programs that carry it forward, and that the infrastructure behind it remains strong.
From youth shooting programs and Olympic-level competition to law enforcement training and conservation efforts, your partnership fuels the work that keeps this freedom alive and relevant. The impact is tangible, visible, and happening every day in communities across the country.
Formerly known as The NRA Foundation, the 1791 Foundation carries forward decades of trusted grantmaking—and we take that responsibility seriously. Every dollar is stewarded with discipline and purpose, directed toward programs that demonstrate real need, clear alignment, and tangible impact. Our commitment to transparency and accountability ensures that your investment is protected and put to work in the most effective way possible.
When you give, you are not simply supporting a foundation.
You are investing in the future of freedom.
Freedom is never free. It is earned, protected, and passed on.
